-Here is an explanation from Qortal Core dev team on how exactly the consensus in Qortal functions: 
  
 Every node with a Level 5 (or higher) self-share "minting key" attached is eligible to sign the next block. It basically streamlines the filtering of unnecessary blocks on a technical level which is done on the client side before submitting. Lower levels may be able to sign blocks in the future depending on future development and technicalities, but remember: we do not compete to sign blocks so this is simply a necessary design for minting efficiency. The timestamp of each block must be between 30 seconds and 90 seconds after the block that precedes it. However, the actual timestamp of the minted block will depend on the minter, based on two main factors: Every node with a Level 5 (or higher) self-share "minting key" attached is eligible to sign the next block.
